About the Book

As war shatters their worlds, a battle-hardened German POW and a devout Mennonite woman discover the contours of forgiveness and love in America’s heartland.

The Spoils of Victory, Markowitz’ first novel and book one in the Prisoners of War series, focuses on a largely forgotten aspect of the history of World War II – the confinement and employment of hundreds of thousands of German POWs throughout the United States from 1943 to 1946. Publication of the second book in the series is anticipated in early 2026.
